Ram Gopal Varma was recently denied permission by the Central Railway to recreate the 26/11 events at the iconic CST Railway station for the director’s next film. Apparently, RGV’s team mailed dates and timings of the shoot to the railways believing that authorities had granted them a go- ahead orally.

However, when RGV sent a letter asking for permission in writing, railways rejected his request. This comes after his initial request for the permission was turned down in June. Only to be followed by a verbal approval from the board.

The reason being cited by the railway board for the refusal is that though RGV wants to recreate the events that occurred on 26/11 the board doesn’t want the railways to be shown in a poor light. Apart from this, RGV wants to recreate the mayhem at CST station with firing sequences and bloodstains.
